up on the top right-hand side where it says private messages (underneath your username), if you click on that, a list of the different kinds of notifications will appear. Click on the one that is bolded.

That will be the friend request I put in ;)
 
There is one for Chris but not you. Do I need to find you?

EDIT: p.s. chad is viewing it off his phone *sneaky bugger*, he has question i got to ask for him.

He also asks why I had to ruin his fun by logging on. He wanted to ask more without me watching it. but i'd just read later.
 
Okay -- I'll re-send my request.

Coming from a supporter perspective -- seeing blood when blood isn't normal, even with something as innocent as a nosebleed, is scary. He probably also wanted to find out if this is a symptom of something more serious, and didn't want you to panic you at the same time. Just guessing.
 
yeah I've wondered if I need to watch what I write now that Jen is on here. :)
 
lol yeah thats what he just bbm'd me (blackberry messanger) and said that he didnt want me to know until he knew more. If he got told by you guys to take me to the hospital, he'd do that.

I'm eating a big mac today. Screw gluten free for just today...ha
*I am so SO sorry Robin! please don't scold me!:gob:*
 
Big Mac??? There are so many much nicer & tastier ways to ruin a gluten free diet.

You mean like that breaded tenderloin and onion rings I had for lunch. At least I had water instead of Pepsi. Can you hear my arteries clogging over the internet?
 
I know. but I craved it! I hadnt eaten Mcdonalds in like 2 and a half years! it was so good. But now my tummy is upset... I knew I'd pay...
 
That's Rotten Ronnie's for you. I absolutely cannot eat it, unless I have the time to spend the next 24 hours in the bathroom. Heeeey, if I have a lot of reading to do, that might not be such a bad idea! :lol:
 
Hey Chad... can't say I like to use the word caregiver either. I think I have only used it here so new members aren't confused that I am not the one having seizures.

I have a loved one experiencing seizures and I will leave no rock unturned in trying to figure out why, at the age of 14 she began having these. I know that medication certainly made them worse. Didn't realize it until we removed the drugs and began eliminating certain food items. We have seen a huge improvement.

We continue to research and experiment. A bit of a pioneer because there are not many doctors that have any knowledge in this area. For my daughter something has helped raise her seizure threshold.

I hope you can help Rae see connections.
 
Hi Chad, welcome!! I am glad to meet you.

I do not like the word caregiver, either. My doctor told my husband and son that they are my caregivers. They let me do whatever I can!! I am starting to exercise again, I stopped because of a bad seizure. They do not consider themselves as caregivers.

Give the support and the help that is needed, that is giving loving care. I am glad that you care enough to join us and learn. There are many here who are not the ones with epilepsy. They are here, like you, to learn and help. You can ask anyone of us for help.

Bernard likes everyone in the forum. He will help you if you need him. He is a good friend.
